Holy moley! Thank god your step-dad is okay! I always wear my seatbelt. My car actually yells at me if I dont put it on. Not worth your life for something that takes a second to do.

Fiance was in a really bad accident 6 months before I met him and the only reason he survived was because he WASNT wearing his seatbelt. The force of hitting the tree threw him into the passenger seat so now he uses that as an excuse for him not wearing his. I have to demand he puts it on every time I drive!

Wow, I am so glad he is all right! That is great he was wearing his seatbelt!

In college I knew a really cool girl who was a big climber and a great artist. She went for a west coast trip on Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend to the coast and unfortunately his car slipped off a cliff at some point in the night while he was driving. He did not have a scratch on him (he had his seat belt on), and my friend was thrown from the car and died shortly after in the hospital after a life-flight (she did not have her seat belt on). I have worn mine ever since.

@rachaelrobin – Thank you so much for checking in! He is doing just fine! He just got a new cell phone, for some reason in the accident he lost the back, and the battery out of his, LOL. I also saw a copy of the accident report, and pictures of the truck. He is so lucky for sure!
